    I’m just putting my front wheel back in, when it was torqued should it look like the photo? It looks like it’s hanging out

    Looks like the spacer doesn't fit right, could it have been accidentally swapped from the other side of they are specific to which side they fit
    ABS light will flash if the sensor isn't picking up the ABS ring if it is too far away...needs to be within a couple of mm

    It looks like the wheels on the wrong way round, i cant see the abs ring, it should be on that side buddy...... abs rings the same side as the side stand.

    Yeah it’s on that side. I’ve changed the spacers over and all sorts. I’m right in only thinking there’s 2? I can’t get any diagrams up online

    have you sorted it yet ? 1 spacer each side of wheel. they should be the same. try fowlers triumph parts they have detailed pictures of parts.

    Have you got a more zoomed out picture?
    Can't tell if that is left or right, taken from in front or behind

    your picture shows it looking ok. your abs light wont go out until you are going at about 3 or 5 mph.

    That’s my nose to the nose of the headlights, so the abs ring will be on the right hand side of the wheel

    Yeah I looked there. Interestingly the spacers come as a pair and are the same part, yet when you look at them closely you’ll see one has 1 grove and the second has 2

    I found this video very useful - maybe you'll spot something that you've done differently...especially as the front wheel removal doesn't go to plan:



    Is this your channel @topbanana0?

    Yes this is my channel, the spacer is correct as its what's called a floating axle. As someone has already said, abs light will go out when you ride it. :)

    Yeah I’ve got it all sorted now and it’s fine thanks. At the time it didn’t look right compared to my other bike but it’s all good thanks
